Official UCONN vs Stonybrook prediction thread

[Duncan Idaho]

I don't think anyone wants to throw a parade for the BYU game (You at least have to make the Adams Division Finals for that), but I don't think you should be disappointed in what you saw with in the BYU game. You saw players who checked out as recently as 10 months ago be engaged in their jobs and with each other. Minus the 1st quarter, they played a pretty decent game (one big plus would be for Clax to keep his hands to himself and his controlled aggression in check...Still a great name for a fullback...). I understand your frustration about the preparation comment, but after what we fans have experienced over the last few years, I think he deserves a benefit of the doubt or two.

One has to wonder how the two first quarter turnovers affected the 'game plan."

If this game is still competitive in the third quarter, I'm just going to assume I have to drink heavily for the remainder of the season.

It might be close early. I shouldn't be close by the end of the 3rd. If so we might as well bring back Pasqualoni because this guy isn't going to get it done. Stony Brook lost last week to a program from the Northeast Conference. Scored 7 points at home. As somebody said earlier in the week, there is no question to which the answer is it is ok to lose to Stony Brook.

If we win 24-10 I don't think this board will be readable. If Bryant beat them 13-7 then we better beat them 42-7.

I don't care if HCBD uses 80 players, if this game is within 3 TD's, we are in for a long year.

Stony Brook better not be returning to LI in buses. It better be body bags.

Jalen Adams has a better chance of playing for Syracuse.


Now back to your BB board.

Just bustin balls. We'll win but not by as much as people here would hope

43-0

21 - Three offensive touchdowns
7 - Pick six
7 - Kickoff/punt return
3 - field goal from right hash mark
3 - field goal from left hash mark
2 - safety

Something for everyone.

Christ. We lost the second half of the BYU game 7-3 and people are expecting Armageddon against Stony Brook?

Perspective, please.

That's fine. You can throw a parade for everything you have seen. I have no problem with that. I am very disappointed with what I saw in the BYU game. Specifically, what bothers me more than anything is the sense that Diaco didn't approach that game as if he wanted to win. One can do that and still build for the future. It is not in my view an either/or situation.To look at a game and say we can't win so let's not bother preparing, let's treat it as an exhibition raised questions with me about his commitment to winning and about his judgement. You're fine with it. Ok. Different opinions. But answer this. What benefit did we get from changing from Cochran to Whitmer in the first drive of the 3rd quarter? Whitmer has started a bunch of games, including games against nationally ranked opponents and games on the road so one would presume he won't panic if he has to go in. And what would build more confidence, giving BYU a game or getting blown out of the stadium?

NOt getting enough attention? Miss the days when you would piss people off by throwing Ollie under the bus?

Are you really that stupid?

Diaco expected Whitmer to go in and for us to score. It didn't work out. Sucks.

Its not like Casey had been playing like Peyton Manning in the spring and summer. Clearly the coaches think they are fairly close and want to evaluate them in live situations.

How can you do that without playing them?

Very borderline result here.

10 points from Stony Brook are off a combined 4 yards of offense. UConn's defense has been great. If Cochran were the starter this game would be 30-7 right now.

We r gonna get embarrassed next weekend. I hope they prove what I'm feeling right now to be false.

more like 3 points.
